		<description>Sorry to post so late--I hope folks are still stopping in.  The WSJ today had an article about Palin&#039;s overboard jump from the ship of state, and I suspect it will be just the continuation of an ugly Bush-era trend:  the trashing of government safeguards for it&#039;s citizens, that help maintain transparency and bring to light those aggregious actions that need to be addressed.  No other than Karl Rove is weighing in on the Freedom of Information Act.  Those pesky laws. . .they get in the way of a fella just wanting to run government for his own benefit.  Be vigilant, Mudpups.  This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

		<description>@ Pacificnwgal  #301 

 &quot;Why are they scratching their heads about why she quit? She is an idiot!&quot;
-----------------------------------------
LOL. You nailed it, gal. 

Picture a very average third-grader trying to explain Einstein&#039;s General Theory of Relativity.....and then picture a group of teachers standing around trying to make sense of the explanation.

Essentially this is what the pundits are doing. Trying to make sense of gobbledygook coming out of the mouth of someone who doesn&#039;t even know herself what she&#039;s talking about.

I don&#039;t know who sounds more stupid. Palin or the pundits

She quit for one or a combination of the following reasons: 1) Fear of/ forced by upcoming legal problems 2) She&#039;s an habitual quitter who&#039;s not having fun anymore 3) Greed.</description>

		<description>Gasman says:

&quot;What makes Palin so dangerous is that she co-mingles ignorance and arrogance in fairly equal proportions.&quot;

Actually, what makes her so dangerous is every time she opens her mouth, the national media gives her prime time attention! Why are they scratching their heads about why she quit? She is an idiot! Period. Sure, nice that she got to go fishing while the news media spent the 4th trying to figure her out. Why bother. In her infantile mind, she probably quit just to get more fishing time in. Maybe the national media needs to take that into consideration. Knowing her, it is just as possible as any other reason.</description>
